WOODBURY — After 35 years in the U.S. legally, an Italian native may be deported for supplying two oxycodone pills illegally.

Ambrogio Gambino, 48, of Woodbury pleaded guilty Monday to supplying the pills for an undercover drug purchase. He admitted that he had the pills on April 2, 2013, and that he and a second person planned to distribute them to a third party, the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office announced.

Under a plea agreement with Gambino, Assistant Gloucester County Prosecutor Alex Gutierrez will recommend he be sentenced to three years probation and 364 days in jail, Prosecutor’s Office spokesman Bernie Weisenfeld said.

Gutierrez did not object to Gambino’s admission to a release program that would allow him to wear an electronic anklet monitoring his movements, Weisenfeld added.

Gambino is an Italian citizen but has held legal status in the U.S. all these years, said his attorney, John DiMasi. He is an employee at a West Deptford Township pizza shop.

Superior Court Judge Kevin Smith, who heard his plea, warned Gambino that the admission of guilt could affect his immigration status.

According to Weisenfeld, DiMasi said he had spoken to his client about the “significant potential” he could be deported. DiMasi said he’d referred him to an immigration attorney. But Gambino said he had not yet met with that attorney.

As is routine a plea hearings, Smith asked the defendant if he’d taken any medication that could affect his thinking.

“Oxycodone,” Gambino replied. “When I need it.”

But he told the judge he was not under the influence of the drug on Monday. His sentencing is scheduled for April 11.

Also charged in the case are 26-year-old Antonino Balsamo of Woodbury, a nephew of Gambino; Carmelo Nicotra, 34, of Woodbury and Thomas G. Kersey, 24, of Deptford Township. Their cases are still pending.
